Justin Bieber received criticism for a now-deleted Instagram Story where he expressed support for Israel but used a photo of Gaza’s destruction. The post sparked strong reactions on social media, prompting Bieber to remove it and reiterate his message without the controversial photo.
In a recent Instagram Story, the singer shared that he doesn’t want to pick sides but wants to support families affected by the conflict, recognizing the tragic loss of lives. Justin Bieber posted on his Instagram Story, “I don’t think it’s right to vilify all Palestinians or all Israelis. I’m not taking sides, but I want to stand with the families who have suffered.”

After he posted, people on social media quickly shared their disappointment. One person called it embarrassing, saying, “If you don’t know the facts, it’s better not to speak. He said he wouldn’t take sides just yesterday, and now he’s doing exactly that.” Another person added, “Justin Bieber posting ‘praying for Israel’ with a picture of a damaged Gaza is unbelievable.”

India started ‘Operation Ajay’ to rescue its citizens from Israel amid escalating tensions caused by a recent attack from Hamas, a Palestinian militant group. The conflict has led to a considerable loss of life, with around 3,700 casualties in Israel and Gaza. ‘Operation Ajay’ focuses on safely bringing back Indian citizens from this unstable situation.
Approximately 18,000 Indian citizens live in the war-torn country. They’re now registering for ‘Operation Ajay,’ as confirmed by news agency ANI. While on a visit to Sri Lanka, External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar posted on social media, announcing the plan to bring these Indians back from the conflict zone. Special charter flights and other arrangements are being organized for this purpose.
